Name:

Named by E.I. Semenov, E.M. Bohnshtedt-Kupletskaya, V.A. Moleva, and N.N. Sludskaya in 1956 in honor of Aleksander (Alexander) Pavlovich Vinogradov (Александр Павлович Виноградов) (21 August 1895, Petretsovo, Yaroslavl Oblast, Russian Empire – 16 November 1975, Moscow, USSR), professor of geochemistry, Moscow. He was Director of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, USSR Academy of Sciences. Founder and head of the first national department of geochemistry (at Moscow State University). Vice-president of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Mons Vinogradov, a mountain on the near side of the moon, is also named after him, as is a large crater on Mars.

Optical Data of VinogradoviteHide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.691 - 1.745 n_β = 1.769 - 1.773 n_γ = 1.773 - 1.818

2V:

Measured: 41° to 82°, Calculated: 24° to 80°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.073 - 0.082
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

Very High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

r > v strong

Optical Extinction:

Y = b; X ∧ a = 7°.

Pleochroism:

Weak

Comments:

Sometimes weakly pleochroic from colorless on X to brownish on Z.

Comments:

Elongation positive; the plane of the optic axis is perpendicular to (010).
